AOL Issues Reports Near Oakland, California

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Oakland and nearby locations:

  • espi espi (@espi) reported from San Francisco, California

    I tried to customize my Slack color scheme and it’s nothing short of appalling. Come to think of it, I never really was good at AOL color profiles, either.

  • w00t John Vantine (@w00t) reported from Oakland, California

    @mygiantrobot DMX - Ruff Ryders Anthem. Pre-Napster, there were private chat rooms on AOL where people would “serve” MP3s. So painfully slow on a 14.4 kbit/s dial-up connection. Simpler times!

  • ZachRoth Zach Roth | zachroth.eth (@ZachRoth) reported from San Francisco, California

    I straight called AOL tech support at one point to ask them how to open a “dot ZIP” file.

  • jjsignal JJSignal™ (@jjsignal) reported from El Cerrito, California

    @The_Katbot It was also the reason I managed to push my parents off of AOL and move on to a better ISP, since AOL required its launcher to be open to stay online. I think it was a common complaint. Before that, I would use Net Zero accounts until I was flagged as a "heavy user" good times.

  • yasSF Yasmine Scallan (@yasSF) reported from San Francisco, California

    AOL! TERRIBLE! It was to mean “America On Line”! Could not keep a tech advisor complete a help request on line to resolve problems with my email. Jess said “hello, what seems to be the problem” then disappeared and I had to pay to get him on line to start! VERIZON wake up please!

  • Zarasdad2016 Fazal Malik (@Zarasdad2016) reported from Hayward, California

    @AOLSupportHelp i need help

  • SideEyePrincess Side-EyePrincess 😒👸🏾 (@SideEyePrincess) reported from San Bruno, California

    @AshleyGWinter Same. Never had MySpace or AOL.

  • cleotiger17 Cleo Green (@cleotiger17) reported from San Leandro, California

    @KLGLASS2 @Shakti74572 @AOL BE BEST WOOD fits her image perfectly bc the woman is empty as a brickwall cold as an ice cube boring as a slab of wood. Basically an empty ugly soul who will go down in history books as insignificant. Plagiarizer. Liar. Plastic. No compassion whatsoever for kids dying in cages

  • airgups23 Shiv (@airgups23) reported from Lafayette, California

    @AdtechGod 3 reasons I'm right: 1. The #s are going down. 2. FB has never shown they can innovate, all 'innovation' has come through acq. Gov't won't let them acq anymore. 3. Sheryl is gone and and Mark is ET. 4. Metaverse is too far away. In 2000 no one thought AOL could fail either.

  • cw4emeryville Courtney Welch (@cw4emeryville) reported from Emeryville, California

    I never learned to type from Mavis Beacon programs, it was using AOL instant messenger everyday after school for an hour.

  • SFnatives San Francisco Native (@SFnatives) reported from San Francisco, California

    @stephendelong78 @CALWDA @JulieSuCA @CA_EDD #CAEDD Is a complete disaster. INCOMPETENCE. It’s like as if someone who has dial-up Internet, an AOL email account and thinks ctrl+alt+delete is tech support is running the IT programming Dept. @CA_EDD The “pending” glitches and lack of cust. service needs to end ! PUA, PEUC>PAY

  • chrismessina Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz) (@chrismessina) reported from Oakland, California

    @seeminglee @xoxogossipgita Good point. Unfortunately Flickr is one of those internet brands that can probably never be sufficiently evolved without angering a core, vocal userbase, like still existing AOL customers.

  • sunnyfbaby el sole, himself. (@sunnyfbaby) reported from Oakland, California

    @solesupremacy AOL -> chats -> Japan -> bay area a-z-ns lol. Damn im that old

  • greggferndale greggferndale (@greggferndale) reported from San Francisco, California

    @DevinCow 1. Never had AOL.

  • TenantsUpstairs Natasha Vo (@TenantsUpstairs) reported from San Francisco, California

    my first aol screen name was sk8rgrl91 so never had any doubt about it

  • mrjasonroy Jason Roy (@mrjasonroy) reported from San Francisco, California

    @jpawgmafia Downloading the STATE logos off of AOL online and printing them up and putting them in my room. That aged the **** out of me.

  • pkellner pkellner (@pkellner) reported from San Francisco, California

    @julielerman @AOL My dad asked me once why his computer was so slow. He said he had bought some software from Nigeria for a great deal that was suppose to speed it up.

  • rod4p Paul Rodriguez (@rod4p) reported from San Francisco, California

    @AOL I feel bad for her. This guy wanted to cheat on his wife [ she didn't know he was married ] Then wanted to get rid of the problem when he was to dumb to use protection. 😐

  • ghiamia73 melania’s motherboard (@ghiamia73) reported from Oakland, California

    @StephenGlahn @AOL And Capitol police didn’t do shit

  • stevenredd stevenredd (@stevenredd) reported from San Francisco, California

    @Ky71Matt @notcapnamerica Hello! Of course I still have an AOL address! How am I supposed to sign up for porn sites I’m never going back to again?!?!

AOL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • xedlock Justin Medlock (@xedlock) reported

    Meta is to VR like AOL was to the internet. Dumbed down, overly simplified, and severely limited. Don’t form your opinions of it from Meta’s legless cartoon version on garbage hardware.

  • k2v k2v (@k2v) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp no help, good bye

  • nealbp Neal Polachek (@nealbp) reported

    @gsterling Reminds me of when AOL used to raise the monthly fees on their service and the cash flow was just massive. Seems like even at the higher price, the payback is what 10 packages a year. Still seems like a bargain.

  • DeconvertPlease 🪰 Flight of the Beelzebub 🪰 (@DeconvertPlease) reported

    @javascriptual True BASIC back in 1995, which lead me to QBasic. Imagine trying to teach yourself that ****, pre-google, with no resources on aol, using just the help files, from which you also have to learn the terminology, uphill in the snow. It can be done.

  • ramen_wood Ramen Wood (@ramen_wood) reported

    @pradaliko I'm forever loyal to the password AOL support assigned me during a password reset back in 1997.

  • TheRealDStef ProdByDiStefano (@TheRealDStef) reported from Atlantic City, New Jersey

    The internet ALWAYS keeps recipts 💯💯💯 You could look back from my aol days til now online and will never find anything to come back and bite me in the ***…I speak my mind freely on these platforms but I was never a piece of **** like alot of these mfers who be exposed

  • theamazingcliff Cliff Foster (@theamazingcliff) reported

    @TomCampbell No wonder...Bebo is a very bad business choice! We all know the money is in AOL Chat rooms!

  • _wald0 Andy Robbins (@_wald0) reported

    Punting was basically kicking other people off AOL with various techniques. You could send them an IM, for example, with a ton of HTML in it. The AOL client would try to render the HTML, fail, and then crash or kick you off.

  • brooktroutbob Bob SomeAle (@brooktroutbob) reported

    @MikeBradleyMKE Totally agree with the similarity to AOL, especially in how awful the interface has gotten. I have a FB account so I can access things that are only on FB and go on occasionally to check on specific things. Each time I am surprised but its mind-bogglingly bad design.

  • bostonwriter BostonWriter (@bostonwriter) reported

    The Dixie Chicks and John Stewart are trending. Now I want to listen to CDs and hang out on an AOL chatroom.
